Great! Does anyone have thoughts if we should clarify on https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/beyond-pkging.en.html#reporting-lots-of-bugs-at-once-mass-bug-filing that mass bug filing of ftp-master RM bugs is not a deprecated practice? I'm in particular thinking of this wording: Reporting a great number of bugs for the same problem on a great number of different packages — i.e., more than 10 — is a deprecated practice. Take all possible steps to avoid submitting bulk bugs at all. It seems that this is not correct when it comes to ftp-master RM bugs, or I misunderstand things. For the next batch of planned Go package removals, see: https://lists.debian.org/debian-go/2026/08/msg00087.html There are potentially hundreds more of these, but I started with the 2014-2017 era of packages first. /Simon
